Palestinian President Plans to Present New Timeline for Talks This Week

NEW YORK—Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Monday he will present a plan this week to the United Nations which sets out a new timeline for completing peace talks.

Speaking to students at New York's historic Cooper Union hall on the sidelines of this week's U.N. annual General Assembly meeting, Mr. Abbas lambasted the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories as he appealed to his youthful audience to help the U.S. "rethink Palestine."
